SCHENECTADY -- Police have charged two city men in their 50s with child endangerment in unrelated incidents for allegedly attempting to lure teenage girls into their cars over the past 24 hours.

In the more recent encounter, Harold Taylor, 50, was arrested for allegedly accosting a 15-year-old girl around 7:40 a.m. Friday in his car in the vicinity of Norwood Avenue and Van Cortland Street and offering her his phone number and a ride home.

On Thursday, Albert Chiweteoke, 55, was in his car when he drove up and yelled out to a 13-year-old girl at 3:36 p.m. around Duane Avenue and Backus Street, "placing the victim in fear," police said.

The girls were not hurt. Both Taylor and Chiweteoke were charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.

Police are continuing to look into to other attempted abductions that occurred in the city's Mont Pleasant neighborhood on Sept. 26 and 27 but don't suspect they are connected to latest two incidents.
